PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Mike, Thanks for the list of parts and pictures. Most helpful as we're planning to add solar this spring. Did you consider adding a third panel?

Thanks everyone, looks like the best course is to keep the rebuilt pumps handy as spares. I'll be heading to HD to pick up that handy puller soon!
